More good news from the hiring front:
Adnan Zulfiqar has joined the faculty at
Rutgers-Camden as Assistant Professor of Law. Cribbing from the
Rutgers website:
Adnan Zulfiqar's scholarship centers on better understanding the
theoretical and practical dynamics of legal change in domestic and
global contexts. His interdisciplinary approach particularly relies on
legal history, including history of the present, to uncover potential
conflicts and innovations for legal reform. Zulfiqar’s primary fields of
inquiry are criminal law, the laws of war (IHL) and Islamic law. In
criminal law, his work explores questions on criminal codification,
over-criminalization, and abuse of authority. In Islamic law, he focuses
on the formulation, evolution and application of Islamic legal
concepts, with particular emphasis on legal obligation in times of war
and revolution.
Before joining the faculty at Rutgers, Zulfiqar was a George
Sharswood Fellow at the University of Pennsylvania Law School and a
Harry F. Guggenheim Fellow. He previously consulted with the United
Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the International Development
Law Organization (IDLO), helping draft penal codes and commentaries for
the Federal Republic of Somalia and the Republic of the Maldives.
Zulfiqar also worked as an Associate in the Investigations, White Collar
and Fraud Group at Hogan Lovells, LLP (Washington, D.C.) and was a
Legislative Staffer for U.S. Senator Max Cleland (D-GA). He is currently
a Fellow at the Truman National Security Project.
Zulfiqar received his J.D. from the University of Pennsylvania Law
School and has an M.L.S. in International Affairs (Georgetown) and M.A.
in Near Eastern Languages & Civilizations (UPenn). He is currently
completing his Ph.D. dissertation on collective duties in Islamic law,
with a specific focus on jihad and social responsibility, at the
University of Pennsylvania.
